Niyari versus Scythe Mole (2008, Age 11)

At this time I developed a character named Niyari (under the impression it meant "smile" in Japanese)and an enemy with scythe-like claws and the ability to burrow quickly called an S. Mole for short.

.The first depiction of both Niyari (Vaaran) and Baku in a short manga dedicated solely to action and dynamics. Crayon was used in certain areas to add a greater sense of texture. Inspired by Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Bleach, and other anime/video games.
